Well, that's all the coverage we have for you tonight. Join us tomorrow as Chennai take on Kolkata at Chepauk. This is Ajith signing off of behalf of Kiran, Sid V, Sriram and Shashreek who went back home during the first game because of an upset stomach. Hope he's doing well. Good night folks, don't forget to keep your frown upside down. Cheers!

Dale Steyn: Would have been happier with a win tonight, but it's ok. I apologize for the celebrations after taking Levi's wicket, I am never going to do that again. Half of my match fee should be taken away (says jokingly). We were 20-30 runs short. We have been a great side, we haven't crossed the line, but we'll try to win the remainder of the games.

Harbhajan: I don't think we played any better than the Deccan Chargers, both teams batted poorly. Definitely not a T20 kind of wicket. When I saw the wicket today I was like, Oh! What is it now? We really don't know what to expect from the wicket. Hopefully, we'll get them to prepare a good T20 wicket.

White: We didn't play well enough, Mumbai did. The difference was about 15 to 20 runs. I thought I'd rather bowl Steyn before the match goes away from our hands. He bowled brilliantly. So, that was the plan, to get the most out of him before the match goes out of our hands.

Dale Steyn is the Man of the Match for his brilliant bowling performance.

Rayudu: It was a tough wicket, we didn't want to play on the rise. We waited for the bad balls, we are glad that we moved to the top half of the table. I am happy with the role the team is offering and I am glad that I am contributing.

Yes, the scorecard says Mumbai Indians won the game with 11 balls to spare and 5 wickets in hand, but it was a close game. If there was someone else to complement Steyn, they could have steam-rolled the Mumbai Indians. Nevertheless, two important points for the Mumbai Indians and the Chargers have plenty to worry about. They are practically out of the league but mathematically they do have a chance. Stay tuned for the presentation.

Duminy to Rohit Sharma, out Caught by Jaggi!! Brain outage from Rohit Sharma! Totally uncalled for, the required rate was below 5 runs an over, looks to target Duminy and charges down the track looking to loft it over long on, doesn't get the timing right, the ball went up in the air, took a long way to come down, Rohit Sharma knew that he hadn't got the distance, he couldn't get under it completely on that occasion, but the long on fielder does, simple catch, takes it close to his chest, Rohit Sharma is disappointed. He knows that he should have done better. Rohit Sharma c Jaggi b Duminy 42(48) [4s-4 6s-1]

Duminy to Rohit Sharma, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Steyn to Franklin, 1 run, catch dropped by Amit Mishra! Dear o dear, the expression on Steyn's face says it all, it was the simplest of catches at third man, Mishra drops it. Good bouncer, Franklin used his height to get under it, pushes it over the slip fielder and it was going down the throat of third man, Mishra was more bothered about where his back foot was, ends up dropping it, luckily the ball didn't go past the ropes, that would have been worse, Steyn isn't happy

End of the great man, he has a habit of getting out to these little known bowlers, but let's not take any credit away from Pratap Singh, a big big wicket this, the one which he would probably remember for the rest of his life.

Welcome back. Levi and Tendulkar to open the innings.

A top bowling performance from Mumbai has helped them bowl out Hyderabad for a paltry total here. After opting to bowl on a pacy wicket, they struck at regular intervals to keep HYD on the back foot. Malinga was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4 wickets for just 16 runs. Bhajji also led from the front taking 2 wickets and giving away just 13 runs from his 4 overs. The pitch is still offering some assistance for the faster bowlers and Steyn will be eager to have a go at them. Join us in a while for the chase....

15.2

Munaf Patel to Ashish Reddy, out Caught by Rohit Sharma!!

Right, the players are all striding out to the middle. Parthiv and Dhawan will open the batting for Deccan. They have gotten the team off to a good start and they will look to do the same today. Surprise Surprise, Bhajji to open the attack. Interesting! The wicket has a bit of grass on it.

White: Sanga and Lehman decided this will be the right combination for these conditions. Last match was a good experience, hopefully it's a different day and we will look to continue our winning ways. This track is good for batting and we hope to put up a good show. I also would have bowled first as the grass would have helped the faster bowlers. This game is all about momentum. Mumbai are a good side and as we are batting first, we will look to put up a good total. Lots of changes today in the side. Our foreign players are - Steyn, White, Christian and Duminy.

Harbhajan: We have to make a move now. So far we have not played upto our potential. Now during the last stages of the tourney we have to improve. The second part of the tournament is important and next few games will be crucial for all the teams. It's important to keep winning now. We will bowl first as the pitch has more grass on it. Munaf has come back into the side and Levi also makes a comeback. They played well in the last game and we will stick to our basics in this game.

Mumbai Indians have won the toss and elected to field

Hello and welcome to the 40th match of this Indian T20 league. Mumbai take on Deccan in this match and will be desperate for a win. We witnessed a close match at Delhi, where Delhi managed to snatch a win by a run against a strong Rajasthan team. Stay tuned for the toss and team info, which will happen in a few minutes time.

Preview

The inconsistent Mumbai Indians would be keen to rediscover their winning touch when they clash with bottom-placed Deccan Chargers in the return leg game of the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

After a five-game losing streak, the Chargers earned their first points against Kolkata Knight Riders in a washed-out game and then scored their first win of the season against Pune Warriors in the latter?s backyard.

MI?s performance has waxed and waned from the opening encounter against defending champions Chennai Super Kings and they go into the game against the Chargers with a 50:50 win-loss record, their last defeat occurring last night against the Delhi Daredevils.

Another defeat would dent their chances of advancing to the play-off stage of the competition considerably.

Chargers, on the other hand, would be keen to set right the last-ball defeat suffered against MI at Visakhapatnam on April 9 when Rohit Sharma carried the latter across the finish line with an unbeaten 73.

With just eight points from as man games, the task has become more challenging for MI to make it to the last four.

Some bad luck, in the form of injuries to key players, has also set MI back. When Sachin Tendulkar regained fitness to finally take the field after recovering from the finger injury sustained in the tournament opener, the team?s bowling spearhead, Lasith Malinga, was laid low by a sore back.

Malinga returned to the playing eleven at Delhi?s Ferozshah Kotla but the side were without James Franklin in the same match after the New Zealander had cracked a match-winning 79 against Kings XI here on April 22.

The Tendulkar-Blizzard opening combination was the sixth one tried out by MI in eight games, an indication of the struggle the team has gone through to put up a settled opening pair on the field.

The latest worry for MI is the shoulder injury sustained by their main all rounder Kieron Pollard who fell on the right shoulder while fielding and looked in pain after hitting a huge six when batting later.

The bowling form of Munaf Patel and skipper Harbhajan Singh is also a major worry for MI. Harbhajan has taken just one wicket in eight games.

Tendulkar returned to IPL after missing four games, but has looked a bit rusty. The team?s unsettled opening pair has hurt the batting order which has been wobbly on all but three occasions.

A huge effort would be needed to put MI?s stuttering campaign back on track, though the return to form of middle order batsman Ambati Rayudu as well as wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, is a big relief for them.

Despite their defeat against the Daredevils, MI would fancy their chances against the struggling Chargers who finally broke their winless streak with an 18-run victory over Pune Warriors. That the victory was obtained in the absence of key South African fast bowler Dale Steyn, who was rested and replaced by compatriot Juan Theron, was heartening for the Chargers.

The worrying factor for Chargers is the lack of form of captain Kumar Sangakkara who has mustered only 83 runs from five games. He?s another important batsman who needs to fire for the Chargers to entertain hopes of downing MI in their backyard.
